Howdy!
Wow, that's just short of half an acre. Quite a large spot. Hoping it is full sun, as bermuda will not perform in shady conditions. Beyond that much field prep will be necessary prior to seeding (herbicide, tilling or disking, leveling) and irrigation is needed to ensure good seed germination. I am trusting you have done that research. If not, email me directly to the email address below and I'd be more than glad to help you further.
Below is a link to a great online resource on turf variety selection.

The Sahara and Mohawk may be easily found for sale. Typically these are sold in blends.
Hopefully this helps.
Good day,
